Cost Of Refinishing Church Pews vs. Buying New Pews

God holds us in the palm of His hands, but when we’re in His house of worship, we rest in church pews where we can worship, praise and fellowship comfortably.

Because pews are such an integral part of the church, thousands of houses of worship have relied on Kivett’s Fine Church Furniture for their seating.  Since 1958. Kivett’s has been providing custom seating solutions for all sizes and styles of sanctuaries. We combine skilled craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques at our Clinton, NC factory.  This gives us the flexibility and expertise to produce custom pews to fit any space or need.

One key to Kivett’s’ success is the fact that we can fully customize pews and upholstery, working with your church team to make sure you have exactly what you want in terms of design, comfort and style.  We use solid Northern Appalachian Red Oak hardwood for every aspect of our pews:  seats, ends, bases, backs and rails. The strength and durability of oak combined with its attractive wood grain means you end up with seating that will last for generations.

Another aspect of using oak is that it allows us to fully customize your pews, if that’s what you desire.  We offer a variety of body styles, and customizable church pew ends– the most visible part of your seating.  At Kivett’s, we can customize that wood face with a variety of engravings that reflect your place of worship. You can also choose between full length traditional, contemporary or cantilevered pew ends for your congregation. And of course, we offer a range of wood stains to enhance your new oak pews.  We also design, fabricate and install all cushion upholstery out of our Clinton factory, so we can provide a range of upholstery options in different fabric types, colors and styles.  As for pricing, because your options will affect the estimate, contact us today so we can get a detailed idea of what you’re looking for and can provide an estimate based on your choices.

Free Stain and Shade Sampling

Because the wood stain can have such a big impact on the overall look and feel of your church interior, we offer stain color and shade sampling so you can be sure the color works well with in your church space/style.:With the shade sampling, you’ll be able to see and test different colors and shades before you make a final decision for your new pews.  We can do this either in person, bringing a range of stains with us to test on a piece of wood we provide so you can see how the color/shade will look in your sanctuary, or you can request a sample kit online and try the shades yourself.
